UK Fraud Strategy Publication Delayed
The UK's fraud minister, Lord Hanson, has announced that the publication of the country's fraud strategy will be delayed until early 2026.
Initially, Lord Hanson stated in March that the strategy would be released by the end of 2025, but a specific date was never confirmed.
The fraud strategy will probably be published in the new year.
Lord Hanson expressed his hope that the strategy will demonstrate support for British businesses, making it difficult for criminals to operate in the UK.
- The strategy is expected to introduce new protections for businesses and the public against common crimes.
The industry had anticipated the government's plan to be unveiled within weeks, but it will now have to wait until next year.
